Multiple subscriptions to the same service with a Gmail

Do you have a Gmail account? As you may know, Facebook limits one user to one profile per email. It's the same with too many online services, one email, one .

If you ever need to create a second account on a service, you'll need to use one email that is not already associated with another account of yours, unless you use Gmail.gmail

If you use Gmail, you can use the same email adress to create as many accounts as you want on social networking sites or some other Web service.

Let's see how.

Gmail addresses differ from Outlook, Live ID, or other services because you can't use periods or dashes in the name. Gmail does not allow it to create new addresses. Her email service it even completely ignores symbols like periods and pluses, which you can use to create mails that point to the same account.

So when you sign up for a service to create a new account, there is a box asking you to enter your email. Instead of creating a new email address for your second account, use the same (Gmail) email, but add a dot in the middle, for example:

Your normal email is: iguru@gmail.com. You can create all of the following :
i.guru@gmail.com, ig.uru@gmail.com, igu.ru@gmail.com, igur.u@gmail.com.
Instead of a dot you can use the - or the + symbol.

The service you want to subscribe to will see them as new emails, but Google will handle them as your email because it ignores the symbols. All incoming emails will end up in your inbox.
